I am requesting that the next person who reads this page to please submit a good picture of the Columbia Seafirst Center (unless their is already one their by the time you read this). I would submit one myself, except my computer freezes up each time I try to upload a picture. MattSal 21:06, Nov 14, 2003 (UTC)

No longer Bank of America Tower, now Columbia Center

See [1]. Seems like a move is in order. (Thanks, McFnord) - Keith D. Tyler ¶ 06:36, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'll do it -Lukobe 19:17, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Height: 967 vs 937 feet

Most sources agree with the given 967 feet, but Emporis consistently says the building is 927 feet tall. [2] Any info on the discrepancy? -- Scarequotes 20:42, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It says the structure is 937 feet and it has a separate listing for the height of the tip, so I'm assuming the extra 30 feet is lightning rod? -- 12.116.162.162 19:04, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's built on a hill. It depends on which side of the building you measure it from. This is why people in Seattle say it's the tallest building on the West Coast, but people from California say it's the second. Hollielol (talk) 02:13, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that accounts for the discrepancy because, according to Emporis, the height is measured from the "tall side" (the lower ground elevation at 4th Ave). The "short side" (the higher elevation at 5th Ave) is only 882.5 feet (269.0 m). —Mrwojo (talk) 16:28, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Darth Vader Building" nickname

I have heard the Columbia Center referred to as the "Darth Vader Building" by 2 separate groups of people, and one person learned the name while working there. Any opinions on whether this nickname is common enough to merit a mention? -- Dmbaguley 15:43, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was quite common back in the day but I don't hear it too much these days. --Lukobe 22:38, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the Darth Vader Building is the one in Belltown (north of downtown Seattle) that was designed by the same architect. It's also clad in dark glass and has the trapezoidal shape of darth vader's helmet. Joshua Crowgey 20:23, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've provided an image of that building. Same developer (Martin Selig); not sure if it was the same architect. - Jmabel | Talk 21:01, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Twelfth tallest"

"…twelfth tallest building in the United States": List of tallest buildings in the United States suggests otherwise. And, in any case, such a claim should have an "as of", since it is always subject to change when a taller building is built (or, for that matter, destroyed). - Jmabel | Talk 21:01, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
